In this Quick and dirty post, let’s see a simple fix for one of the annoying error messages you’ll see in SQL Server 2005. Basically, You’ll see below mentioned error in few cases when you try to change the sa password using SSMS.
The Simple trick is to check the box “Map to credential” as shown below after providing a new password and click Okay.
This should work…Hope this helps!
It works! thanks
thanks..it works successfully
but why it return to unchecked after we press ok??
Great solution! Thanks!
Tnx its working
it’s working
its working… what was the problem and why does that fix it?
I’ve encountered this only once, I think it could be small bug(within SSMS). Here’s the Microsoft KB article for this issue…Am not truly satisfied with the explanation provided by MSFT as well. But hey….that fixes our annoying little issue!
